Global Journey I am in Bahrain
We simply divide Bahrain into three parts.
The central part is the capital. In ancient times, the traditional industry was commerce, and it was also an important maritime terminal.
The traditional industry of the eastern town is fishing.
In the south of Kibor’s hometown, the traditional industry is bird taming and hunting. At the airport in Bahrain, you can see images of Bahraini people’s traditional bird training.
When I arrived at Kibber’s house, I found that his father looked almost 60 years old, but his English was very good and he was very outgoing in conversation. Locals would sit around in the courtyard outside the living room drinking Arabic coffee and chatting.
Then, they poured me Arabic coffee. Because it was too hot, I blew it...
His dad said, you can’t blow it. According to YSL teachings, you can’t blow it. Blowing something while sitting is bad behavior.
I said, oh, sorry.
Then, his dad talked to me about Shiism again. His dad asked me if I knew what Shiism was?
I said, of course I know, I have been to Iran.
His dad said that Shias believe in reincarnation and that there will be a next life, which is simply a heresy... Do you think this is the Shoe Cult?
I wanted to say, it’s none of my business.
His dad continued to chat with me, saying that China is very powerful and will become the most powerful country in the world in the future. China is growing at an alarming rate.
Where did you get the information about China?
The old man was a little unhappy after hearing this. I have a good education and I have a lot of land... (In short, it means don’t underestimate him)
Then, we entered his house In the living room, you will find that there are many award photos in his home.
Kibber introduced me one by one.
This is National Geographic magazine or some other magazine in 1975. It took a famous photo of Bahrain, and the man above is his uncle.
This is Kiber's brother, who caught a huge fish in Oman. He said that people in our hometown have either made a living by hunting or fishing for generations, and have never engaged in farming.
Regarding the awards his father won, he said that his father was the strongest bird hunter in Bahrain and among the top ten in overseas countries.
Kibel’s grandfather and great-grandfather
His father told me that in the Middle East, bird hunting is a very expensive sport, which is equivalent to the " "Golf" is an aristocratic sport. For example, in Saudi Arabia, usually only the royal family and the wealthy can afford this sport.
First of all, you need to have a lot of outdoor equipment, you need to have off-road vehicles, you need to have various navigation and positioning, and you need to find the prey. The Saudi royal family will also be equipped with super high-definition cameras to record the entire hunting process.
Then, Kiber took me to his cousin’s house. His cousin kept five birds in his house. You can check their names yourself, but I don’t know either. In short, the origin of their birds is in Iran.
They said that the best-quality birds in the world of bird training are from Iran, followed by those from Mongolia and Arab countries. I said there seemed to be some in Kazakhstan, but he said that the quality of the birds in Kazakhstan was not good.
In their backyard, you can see four or five birds of different species staying in the air-conditioned room. It turns out that these birds cannot tolerate temperatures exceeding 25 degrees, and if it exceeds, they will get sick.
His cousin pointed to a bird with dull eyes and said that this one was a little sick.
Their hunting activities are usually in the winter of the Arabian Peninsula. Sometimes they go to Saudi Arabia and sometimes to Oman
